(|x-5|)/8 =5

\frac{∣ x - 5 ∣}{8} = 5

x = - 35 or x = 45

Solution steps

\frac{∣ x - 5 ∣}{8} = 5

Multiply both sides by

8

∣ x - 5 ∣ = 40

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

x - 5 = - 40 or x - 5 = 40

x - 5 = - 40 or x - 5 = 40

x = - 35 or x = 45

∣ 5 - x ∣ = 10

∣ - 8 n + 1 ∣ = 0

2 ∣ x + 2 ∣ - 5 = 7

x^{2} + 1 = 2 ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 x

- \frac{1}{9} x + 16 + 3 = 7
